This Congress passed numerous bills that will help secure our nation from future terrorist attacks as well as legislation to end the flow of illegal aliens across our border. This Congress reauthorized the PATRIOT Act, a key piece of legislation initially drafted after the 9/11 attacks to allow for greater communication among our intelligence community and local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and reaffirmed their ability to conduct terrorist surveillance, while also updating our laws to adapt to new technologies. Make no mistake, the fact that we have not experienced an attack on American soil is not due to the lack of effort from the terrorists. It is because of Congress and the Administration’s policies to protect Americans and fight terrorism.
